Research has shown that the incidence of chronic conditions is increasing. Which lifestyle factor has been shown to contribute to this increase?
A) Exercise
B) Obesity
C) Eustress
D) Gastrointestinal disease
Ans: B
Feedback: Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, chronic stress, and sedentary lifestyle, that increase the risk of chronic health problems such as respiratory disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and obesity are all thought to be factors for the increasing incidence of chronic conditions. Although signs and symptoms of chronic illness often first appear during older age, risks may begin earlier, even during fetal development. Exercise, eustress, and gastrointestinal disease have not been shown to be factors that have contributed to the increase in chronic conditions.
